Re: amateur movie making advic plz

Not trying to rag on the camera but, the technology in the camera is old and doesn't have a lot of image control. However, on a low budget for a camera this will work. I mean hell they shot 28 days later with that camera, of course modified with 35mm lenses.

I would pass on it though. Today people want stuff shot in 24P and only a handful of cameras can do that. If you're super strapped take it, but I would go for aused DVX100 before i would buy an XL1s

Only the Canon Xl2, XH-A1 and DVX100 have true 24p shooting. I highly recommend the DVX100. I know you don't have the scratch for it, but trust me, get the money together, buy that camera, set it to 24FPS mode and goto town making your movie. A majority of Deadlands was shot on the DVX100.

I cannot thank you enough for that list. I wrote it down, and will check out every camera mentioned. Thanks a bunch. And by the way, I'm really looking forward to "Deadlands: The Rising". And no, I'm not just saying that because you helped me out.
